ioc-patterns

ioc-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from HermeticOrmus/LibreSecOps-Claude-Code. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,349 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for indicators of compromise (IOCs), which are clues that a system or file may be connected to an attack. It covers hashes, IP addresses, domains, tools, behaviours, extraction methods, and threat-intelligence formats.

In plain words
What is it for?
Extracting and assessing hashes, network addresses, domains, file artefacts, and attacker techniques for detection and threat-intelligence sharing.
Why use it?
It helps analysts choose useful indicators and understand that some clues are easier for attackers to change than others.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ioc-patterns scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

IOC Patterns

Taxonomy of indicator of compromise types, extraction techniques, quality assessment, and structured formatting for threat intelligence sharing.

Knowledge Base

Indicator Taxonomy

The Pyramid of Pain (David Bianco, 2013) ranks indicator types by how much effort it costs an adversary to change them:

        /  TTPs  \          <- Hardest to change (most valuable)
       / Tools    \
      / Artifacts  \
     / Domain Names \
    / IP Addresses   \
   / Hash Values      \    <- Easiest to change (least valuable)

Hash Values (Trivial to change)

  • MD5 (32 hex chars) -- collision-prone, still used for lookup compatibility
  • SHA-1 (40 hex chars) -- deprecated for security, still common in threat intel
  • SHA-256 (64 hex chars) -- standard for reliable identification
  • ssdeep (fuzzy hash) -- identifies similar files despite minor changes
  • TLSH (Trend Micro Locality Sensitive Hash) -- better than ssdeep for many use cases
  • Imphash (PE import hash) -- groups samples by import table, survives recompilation

IP Addresses (Easy to change)

  • C2 server addresses
  • Exfiltration endpoints
  • Scanning/reconnaissance sources
  • Proxy/relay infrastructure
  • Note: Shared hosting, CDNs, and cloud IPs can cause false positives

Domain Names (Moderate to change)

  • C2 domains (registered or compromised)
  • DGA (Domain Generation Algorithm) domains -- daily/hourly generated
  • Staging/distribution domains
  • Exfiltration domains (including DNS tunneling)
  • Subdomain patterns (randomized, sequential, encoded)

Network Artifacts (Moderate to change)

  • JA3/JA3S hashes (TLS client/server fingerprints)
  • JARM fingerprints (active TLS server fingerprinting)
  • HTTP headers and patterns (User-Agent, custom headers)
  • URI patterns and paths
  • Certificate details (subject, issuer, serial, thumbprint)
  • DNS query patterns (record types, query frequency, response sizes)

Host Artifacts (Harder to change)

  • File paths (drop locations, staging directories)
  • Registry keys and values
  • Mutex/named event names
  • Scheduled task configurations
  • Service names and descriptions
  • Named pipe names
  • WMI subscriptions
  • Process command-line patterns

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ioc-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository HermeticOrmus/LibreSecOps-Claude-Code (4 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,349 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
